Oracle Certification Beta Exam numbers begin with "1Z1"; Oracle Certification Production Exam numbers
begin with "1Z0". Both versions of the exam have the same suffix. For example, a beta version of an exam may be
1Z1-512. The production version of this exam will be 1Z0-512.
Beta exam registration is available through Pearson VUE's Online registration system or by telephone.
Visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to register.
Beta exams are available worldwide. Exams are delivered at Pearson VUE Authorized Test Centers. They are
not available at Oracle Testing Centers (OTC).
The Beta Exam is only available for testing appointments during the Beta Exam Period. Beta end dates are
tentative and subject to change. Please check this page often for updated beta end dates.
As a part of the Beta exam, each beta candidate must complete a brief demographic survey. The survey
results are kept entirely confidential. Candidates’ responses are compiled and used to calibrate the exam.
Beta exams contain more questions than the final version of the certification tests.Beta exams contain 175-
200 questions compared with approximately 50-100 questions on a production exam.
Beta exams usually allow 3-3.5 hours for completion. With the higher number of questions, you may not have
as much time to spend on each question of a beta exam as you will during the final exam. You also may not have
as much time at the end of the exam to review your answers.
Feedback is integral to the beta testing process. We encourage candidates to include comments on specific
exam questions. There is a feature in the test that will allow you to do this. You can add your comments as you are
working through the exam, or you can mark specific questions and return to add your comments once you are
finished answering the exam questions.
Beta Exams may only be taken once.
You will only be scored on the questions that are chosen for the final exam.
Since you are graded only on the questions selected for the production version of the certification exam, it
may take up to 10 weeks after the close of the beta period to receive your exam results from Pearson VUE.
Passing a beta exam is the same as passing a production exam. For example, if you were to pass all the beta
versions of the exams required within an Oracle Certification path, you will earn your Oracle Certification credential
and receive the certificate in the mail.
